Nice truck for the price.
“1960 Willys flatbed pickup 4 wd. Has mid 70s 232 6 cyl AMC engine, rest of the drive train is original. Newer brakes, drums, and master cycinder. Starts good, runs and drives, and stops like a 60s truck. Doors shut good and windows work.”
Looks like it could be a VEC. Might be a good price. Has pre-black-plate plates.
“Here it is! An unmolested flat fender Jeep. Runs like a swiss watch- flat head four cylinder. Hood, fenders, windshield, tailgate and vertical body panels are GOOD. Floor pan could use some patching in places. No top- who needs it? I only drive it on the weekends in good weather. I have a ton of spare parts including an extra transmission. Front brakes were upgraded to 11″ drums a couple years ago and this dude will now actually STOP when you want. Military style tires. Have a tow bar for it, an old (very cool) service manual that actually tells you how to fix stuff. Oh and it has a PTO that kinda works but I have nothing to run off it. If you’ve been looking for an original reliable old flatty this is it. No lift kit, no V-8 stuffed in it. Pretty much the way it was built (except upgraded to 12V and the brakes). Won’t last long. I’m not really dying to sell it so no low ball offers. No 215 or other crap- you’ll need cash for this. I will be able to show this to people on the weekend, 4/26-27. If you’re interested shoot me an e-mail. No- the dog doesn’t go with it….”

<– Day 35 – Apr. 23rd: Over the Sierras | OVERVIEW | Day 37 – Apr. 25th: Carson City –>
The good part about Reno is the room rates during the week: $26 a night at the Circus Circus (great rooms for the price, too). The bad part is that Reno eats tires for lunch, which just so happens to be the time of day that we discovered one of our tires was flat.
We were pretty lazy Thursday morning. By the time we were heading to Reno’s National Automotive Museum it was noon. On the drive over I though the handling on the jeep seemed a tiny bit odd. When we arrived at the museum, I got out to check the tires. Sure enough, the front right tire was approaching flatness.
Now, you might say to me, “Dave, didn’t your fancy new jeep have a tire pressure sensor?”
By Joe, you are right! But, last winter the tire pressure sensor came on for a while, due to the severe cold. Well, yesterday the tire pressure warning lit up as we dropped down off the pass into Lake Tahoe. I pulled over to check the tires, but nothing seemed amiss. So, I figured it was a cold/altitude thing. It appears I was wrong.
So, on Thursday we found ourselves at the museum with a flat tire. Some threatening rain clouds loomed overhead. What did we choose to do? Well, visit the museum of course! I figured we could unpack the jeep to pull out the spare tire later.
The museum turned out to be outstanding. The collection represents only part of William F. Harrah’s overall collection at the time of his death in 1978, but it is still outstanding. Harrah’s collection strategy was to find cars of which only a few were made or of which only a few existed. The result is a collection that is unique and diverse. Both Ann and I had a good time looking at the vehicles, watching the demonstration engines, listening to the tv shows and music that acted as background, and reading some of the stories. I took a bunch of pics.
The museum had several jeeps, including a few for a WWII exhibit. The Jerrarri (Wagoneer plus Ferarri) was in the museum, but I figured there are enough pics of that online.
This very famous Thomas Flyer vehicle had it’s own extensive display. Neat rig and great history about the race from New York to Paris.
We only had one bad experience at the museum. That’s when Ann’s camera phone slipped from her hands while she was taking a photo. She reached to grab the falling phone, but hit it forward instead. The phone sailed through the air toward a vehicle that shall remain unmentioned. Fortunately, it narrowly missed the car, landing with an odd thud on the crushed rock. Whew!
With our museum tour finished, I had to face unpacking the jeep to remove the spare tire. Really, in the scheme of things, it wasn’t that bad, but still a pain.
After competing the swap we drove over to Les Schwab to see if they could fix the tire. After finding the leak, it was clear the tire was toast. Because the jeep is all-wheel-drive, we were forced to buy four new tires, setting us back $1000. You can imagine that hit the travel budget! Ann claimed we are the only people who can go to Reno and lose $1000 without ever entering a casino.
So, we spent the afternoon at Les Schwab waiting for our new tires to be installed. That’s not quite how we saw our day going. Our evening did end with one high note. We found a great and inexpensive Vietnamese restaurant called the Golden Flower right next to Circus Circus.
Tomorrow we plan to tour Virginia City and then drive south to Carson City to see the Nevada State Museum.

Jake’s jeep was handed down from his grandfather to his uncle and now to him. As you can see, it had undergone some unique modifications. Jake decided to refurbish the jeep, saving what he could of the modifications while returning other portions to a more stock look. I think it looks great. You can view higher resolution photos of this project here: http://imgur.com/a/r9dLW#0
Here’s Jake’s story:
Please as you read this take note of the doors, tub, tailgate, fenders, bumpers, windshield, cab, cab seat and maybe some other little things. I know the end product is not a STOCK cj2a but it looks good. I am trying to get info on who might have done this awesome metal work job 50+ years ago. Thanks for any info anyone can give me. 🙂
Okay, here is what I know about my great grandpa’s jeep. It is titled as a 1946 cj2a. Has the overhead valve f 134 engine in it. Had a column shift tranny but the side shifters have been welded so they cant move and a floor shifter was added. I was told he got the jeep in the 70s from a gas station in Michigan. He used it for 25 years to plow snow at a church. The plow that was used is shown in picture 1.
When he passed away my great uncle got the jeep and it sat in a barn for at least 10 years.—pictures 2-4a show this—.
We loaded the jeep up back on 2009 and that is when the project began. The jeep appears to have a custom body. Except the grill. We gt the jeep home and noticed it had heavy gauge steel. Everything is thicker then it should be except the grill.— thick fenders, body, doors and hood. They look to have been custom made by someone who knew what they where doing.
Alex offered this tip on flatfender passenger bars, aka ‘sissy’ bars.
I see on your site quite a few CJ2 or 3 A and even GPW-MBs with “sissy bars” mounted on the dashboards (see photo of red Jeep).
A few years ago, while teaching my niece how to drive, I was in the passenger seat and she drove off a bridge where we fell 9 feet into a dry creek. I got lightly wounded, no problem. The Jeep survived OK.
And here is my point : if I had installed the sissy bar on the dashboard, I today would be for the rest of my life in a wheel chair with exploded knees, because it is just the right heigth to smash them in case of accident (which is not the case in the CJ3 B or CJ5 as their dashboards are quite higher).
Thus to prevent body harm, I recommend to all those who have these grab bars mounted on above mentioned Jeep’s dashboards to move them higher, onto the windshield (see photo of my yellow CJ3 A), where they actually are much more useful.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was sold at auction.
“This is a preview of an Up & Coming Auction for a 1942 restored Ford Jeep WWII Era. More details coming Soon. There will be a reserve price on the vehicle.”
